Smart 3D Version
10.1 (2014 R1)

Defines a plane in 3D along a specified coordinate axis (relative to the view), and then hide the points on one side of that plane, so that a cross-section view of the point cloud results.

At most one slice or section view can be active at a time (for example, a section view in the Y-plane cannot co-exist with a section view in the X-plane). Axis is defined in view coordinates.

Create a section view

  1. Select CloudWorx > Clip Point Cloud > Section View.

  2. Select the required view from the following:

    • X Positive

    • X Negative

    • Y Positive

    • Y Negative

    • Z Positive

    • Z Negative

  3. Input the data point to place the section plane.

    The new section view is applied to clip the points.

    • To turn on or off any clipping records, see Clipping Manager.

    • To turn off all clipping records of the active clipping group, see Reset Clipping.

    • Use the X Positive to define a plane whose normal direction is X+, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.

    • Use the X Negative to define a plane whose normal direction is X_, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.

    • Use the Y Positive to define a plane whose normal direction is Y+, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.

    • Use the Y Negative to define a plane whose normal direction is Y_, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.

    • Use the Z Positive to define a plane whose normal direction is Z+, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.

    • Use the Z Negative to define a plane whose normal direction is Z_, all the points on the opposite side of the plane are clipped out.
